The Board has granted the Veteran's claim for service connection for sexual disorder, to include other specified sexual dysfunction, as secondary to her service-connected posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The decision is based on evidence showing a positive nexus between the Veteran's sexual disorder and her PTSD.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there was sufficient evidence to support a finding of a positive nexus between the Veteran's other specified sexual dysfunction and her service-connected PTSD, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
